How Transcripts Are Generated
When you paste a YouTube Shorts URL, our server fetches publicly available captions from YouTube's API. The transcript is delivered directly to your browser. We do not retain copies of the content you extract.
Third-Party Services
This tool interacts with YouTube to retrieve captions. YouTube's own privacy policy applies to their services. Embedded video previews use YouTube's iframe player, which may set cookies according to Google's policies.
Your Rights
You can clear your local browser history at any time using the Clear button in the tool. Since we do not store personal data on our servers, there is no server-side data to request or delete.
